上文中,我们提到了First_value和Last_value两个分析函数,
可以提取第一行或者最后一行数据
但是,如果我们想提取开始的第二行,第三行,或者倒数第二行,倒数第三行的时候,就比较困难了
因此,oracle提供了Nth_value函数,可以提取需要的任一行。
语法如下:
NTH_VALUE(mesure,n) [FROM FIRST,FROM LAST] [RESPECT NULLS|IGNORE NULLS]
over (partition by ... order by ... rows between ... and ...)
示例如下:
select year,week,product,
sale,
nth_value(sale,2) over ( --读取排序以后的第2行
partition by product,region,country,year
order by sale desc
rows between unbounded preceding and unbounded following
) top_sale,
nth_value(week,2) over (--读取排序以后的第2行(week值)
partition by product,region,country,year
order by sale desc
rows between unbounded preceding and unbounded following
) top_week
from sales_fact
where product='product1' and country='country1' and region='region1'
order by product,country,year,week
如果nth_value中的数字为1,那么就和First_value一致了
